How many credits is each course?
Are all courses worth 3 credits? If not, where can I find the number of credits each course is worth?

Last number in a course code is the credit. Math 1X03 is worth 3 credits. Another course like Eng Phys 2A04 is worth 4 credits.

Some single term courses can go as high as 5 units I believe, but they are almost always 3, or sometimes 4. 6 units means it runs all year. Anything higher than 6 is probably part of a specialized program (eg ISCI 1A24)

Not necessarily! It can be 6 units, or in Eng there are some 4 and 5 unit courses.
